Drivers Side Rear View Mirror Rubber Seal

[LegionPiper]

Hi folks,
I was able to pull the Mirror Assembly apart easily.
( Surprising given the amount of rust ! )

Has anyone found an after-market Rubber Weather Stripping product that we can use to replace the original ?

I am hunting, but the original has a very interesting channel carved in it that is needed to keep the whole assembly together.

Try a Truck place, as they have a lot of different mirrors, arms and repair bits. You may not find the rubber moulding you are looking for, but will see other options for the mirrors. Most I have seen are now the rectangular mirror rather than the original round ones. Both were in service over the years.

Hey that's a good idea !
There's a Peterbuilt dealer just down the street.

In fact I've always wanted to know if the big rigs run on 24 v ...
There must a plenty of current parts that can be leveraged...
